Discussion With Class Mates
Discussion With Class Mate - Codes and Conventions of Short Films
Myself and a class mate came together to discuss the research we had done about the codes and conventions of short films, this is the list we came up with:
- Range of representations
- Simple narrative
- limited amount of characters
- Mis-en-scene key to setting mood and feel of piece
- Large use of close ups
- Common to have voice over narrating
- Restriction of dialogue - narrative told through camera and events
- Two extremes of pace - Slow or fast - reflected in editing and non diegtic musical score
- Punchy and engaging from the beginning
- Titles - light text over black background.
